New research investigating the properties of space-time at scales in which quantum mechanical effects govern the behavior of energy and matter are yielding surprising results that have verifiable macroscopic effects. Prevalent quantum gravity theories predict that at such scales, gravity is the result of a turbulent inflow of quantum foam into matter. These flows are rife with entropic energy, which research is revealing may lead, in conjunction with the extreme space-time curvature in these regions, to the production of a new type of particle, which I have dubbed the Hunt Opulent Boson Onus, or HOBO.

The HOBO is a fermion unlike any previously predicted. Most fermions have mass and interact with other fermions via bosons, force carrying particles that produce the macroscopic effects of the strong nuclear, weak nuclear, electromagnetic, and possibly gravitational forces. The HOBO, however, behaves in an opposite manner. It is a massless particle that acts like a force carrying particle, interacting only with the bosons of the other forces and having no boson of its own. The super symmetry implications of this feature have yet to be fully explored.

When a HOBO is created, it escapes into space traveling very near or at the speed of light (this value has yet to be found experimentally) and continues until it interacts with a boson crossing its path—an incident predicted to occur once for every 10^9 boson crossings due to a quantum mechanical effect known as the Chahryti Equivalence, which states that the chance of interaction of any two particles is inversely proportional with the need* to interact—HOBOs are very needy, given their unique properties and circumstances, therefore they interact rarely.

I predict that HOBOs also interact with themselves to produce a particle known as an H-ball. HOBOs come in three “scents,” much like the colors of quarks and gluons and the varieties of weak force bosons, which are “musk,” “rosemary,” and “leaky radiator.” One of each scent is necessary to produce an H-ball, which may have a half-life of up to 10^33 years, much longer than the current age of the universe. Although the frequency of H-ball production is open to much speculation, this long lifetime coupled with their infrequent boson interactions could potentially mean that they are common throughout the universe.

While the effects of a HOBO interaction with a boson would be minute indeed, not so with an H-ball. Measurable macroscopic effects would result, however prediction of their dissention from mainstream physical laws is hard to quantify. Because H-balls are manifestations of entropic probability for disorder, their effects are widespread and chaotic, depending on the system in question and on characteristics of the HOBOs involved. Often, this leads to scientists mistakenly assuming aberrations in their research findings are experimental error, when in fact they are caused by this enigmatic new particle. As awareness grows in the scientific community, it is hoped that more evidence for HOBOs will become recognized as such so it can be properly studied. Fortunately, a new branch of physics, anarchic physics, or AP for short, has developed to make people more aware of this important development in physics as well as investigate the implications of it. As new theories emerge, the exact properties of HOBOs and their interactions should become clearer, although, as anarchic physicists such as myself proclaim, the only constant in the universe is anarchy.
